Where is your reading comprehension skills. The dog was hung up in the fence and was in distress. Any animal in distress like that is capable of turning on anything that approaches it. It is unfortunate that the mother did not realize this and let her 10YO daughter who probably weighed less than the dog even get close to that scenario.

Yes.

A dog capable of attacking and killing a grown man was hung up in the fence and was in distress.

For any breed, distress is only one motivation for attack. Limping around at the ancient age of 17, my otherwise affectionately docile minature Dauschund would bite me whenever I made the mistake of getting between her and her food, to include trying to deny her a bone she carried into the house. I don't think I've ever heard of a fatal Dauschund attack. :-)

I'm still waiting for the litany of stories about other breeds attacking and kiling people.

My comprehension is just fine. Yes, the parents shouldn't have let the girl go unsurporvised. However, their experience with the dog told them it would be okay. Pit Bulls are known to attack for no reason or any reason. The breed should be abolished.
